??? : Where is Oppa?

At the perception of her face, Seol Ah felt a sense of familiarity. She creased her temple in thoughts over where she could have seen this visual before.

The pretty guest was the absolute definition of beauty- fair tone, evenly shaped eyes with fine trimmed brows, blending in impeccably with her eye makeup. A gradient plum tint kissed her well curved lips, and her flawless creamy skin was next to perfection.

To Seol Ah, who had very less of Asians growing up, the young woman seemed to be the template for the typical beauty standards set by society.

But before, the new manager could entirely study her perfect features and admire them, the femme fatale lady welcomed herself inside the house—without a bother to her.

She casually walked in, putting on the koala slippers near the shoe rack. Seol Ah noticed her acquaintance with the house and presumed, it wasn't her first time there.

??? : Oppa~ Where are yo-..

She stopped mid way through her words and turned to Seol Ah. The latter looked up at her with widened eyes at the former's sudden attention.

??? : Are you his new manager? (-examines her up and down-)

SEOL AH : Yes, I am. May I ask, your identity?

??? : (-ignoring her question and talks to herself-) Tacky-some.

SEOL AH : I am sorry?

??? : (-chuckles-) Oh, did you hear it? Anyways, I was just saying you're of no harm to me. So, we are good. (-smiles and turns to find Namjoon again-)

Seol Ah was a little offended by her belittling conduct towards her and having commented on her casual clothes. Self conscious about her skin tone being too pale, after middle school sadly, she never put on something revealing and covered her body as much as she could.

With determination, she decided to prioritize her work then and overtook the lady who attempted to go for his studio's door knob.

SEOL AH : I am sorry, I can't let you in. I have to ask Sir for an approval first. May I know, what this is in reference to? 

??? : (-rolls eyes-) Yah! Do you even know who you're talking to?

SEOL AH : No, and I would like to know that.

The mysterious lady glared at her for a while, before forcing out a chuckle and trying to act cool.

??? : Alright. I will spare you this time, so just move out of my way.

SEOL AH : I am sorry, Ma'am. He has strictly asked me not to let anyone insid-

The younger now, not paying anymore heed, excused Seol Ah and forcibly went inside— whining out a call to Namjoon. 

??? : Oppaa~

SEOL AH : (-bowing-) I am sorry sir, I will take her out.

Seol Ah, attempting to arm handle her now, was stopped by Namjoon.

NJ : It's okay. Let her be. You can leave.

Although, she wanted to witness his expressions as he said those words to her, Seol Ah kept her eyes down while quietly leaving with a slight bow.

She could hear their conversation that continued the moment she backed her steps from his room, the closing door letting her listen to a few lines.
